I only serve steamed, fresh vegetables. A single steamer with a family of 6 is insufficient.
I love being able to steam a few things at once.
Steaming 1 item at time left too much for time for foods to cool off and get soggy.
I have been recommending this item,to all of my friends since I received it
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Stay-cool handle, quality, Material, easy to use, True to Color, even cooking, multi-purpose, construction, size, Tight-fitting lid, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, durability, Functional/Useful, Weight, capacity
Cons: Expensive/ Price, uneasy to store

This steamer was one of my best purchases ever!

I use this steamer at least four times a week. Not only does it steam vegetables well, but it also makes reheating various foods at the same time a breeze. All elements of the steamer clean up easily. I had used a bamboo steamer set for years--the bamboo would darken, harden and even burn over time--but there are no such problems with this steamer. I strongly recommend it!
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, construction, Easy to Clean/Wash, Heat distribution, Performs Well

This steamer was bought to replace a large single steamer I had previously. This 3-Tier steamer is now my new favorite which allows me to steam 2 different vegetables (or fish & vegetable) at the same time and also gives me a colander for straining and a nice size stockpot. I live alone and may only use one steamer basket but frequently host famly events and the 2 steamer baskets allow plenty of room to steam enough corn on the cob or other vegetables for the group. When I was searching for a new steamer most of those offered were those that fit into smaller saucepans. If you're looking for a larger and very versatile steamer/stockpot I highly recommend this Joyce Chen 3-Tier Steamer.

Like the ability to steam 2 different foods at the same time. The wide base is nice so the food cooks evenly. Corn on the cob fits perfectly. Like the clear lid so you can see the food. One negative is that it spits water out onto the cooktop.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Stay-cool handle, even cooking, Appearance/ Design /Style, capacity
Cons: spits

Not really 3 Tier Steamer

This 3 Tier Steamer pot is not as heavy a metal as I had hoped for. The two steaming trays are lighter metal than I expected. The pot could be heavier metal too. I do not count the pot as a tier. I do like design. Packaging was a little hard to get pot out of.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, multi-purpose, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, Functional/Useful, capacity
Cons: Construction, Packaging, heavier metal

This steamer can be used for seafood, vegetables and a food warmer. Its multi-functional use more than makes up for the price because it eliminates the need for additional steamers.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, even cooking, Heat distribution, multi-purpose, construction, Tight-fitting lid, Heat retention, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, durability, capacity

This is the best steamer ever! I've used it for fish, vegetables, lobster and crab legs so far. The two levels let me get vegetables ready at the same time as the entree'. It's large enough to create four servings of everything at once. I was disappointed that Chef's did not provide some cooking time guidelines with it or maybe some recipes, however you can find those fairly easily on the Internet. Overall, very pleased.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, Stay-cool handle, quality, Material, easy to use, even cooking, Heat distribution, multi-purpose, construction, size, Tight-fitting lid, Appearance/ Design /Style, Heat retention, Performs Well, easy to store, Functional/Useful, Weight, capacity

I've had a hand-me-down aluminum (yes, aluminum) steamer for 15 or 20 years. I decided it was time for a grown-up steamer. I tend to team veggies a minimum of 5/week. This Joyce Chen steamer has been perfect for steaming one or two different veggies simultaneously.
